Finally after 27 years of marriage, I get my own room! LOL. I found a used grace quilting frame, but haven't had a chance to try it out yet since my Janome decided it needed a vacation at the repair shop!! :(

Hope you enjoy, I sure am!

And here's the Grace Frame and two quilt tops I just finished.

congratulations! both on 27 yrs. and finally getting your own room! I know you'll enjoy it.

WOOHOO!! WTG!!
Was it your sons room or do you like submarines?

Love the quilt!!

It was my DD's room, she has moved downstairs to my DS's old room and he has moved out.... It's a chain reaction thing... lol

My DH was a submariner and the painting was done as a wedding present by a friend of his, Rupert Ravens. It's hanging in this room for now due to the fact we don't have a wall big enough in the living room. It was down in my DS's room and my DD wanted nothing to do with it. We'll be moving in the next few years and I'm hoping we'll have a house that has a wall big enough to do the painting justice.

very nice sewing room

It's a great room!
Love that painting and yes, it needs a place to hang so all can see it. Very talented painter!

Thanks all, I am enjoying having the space to stretch out and not have to put things away constantly. Before this, I was in a corner of the living room.

Yes the painting is very striking, that's why it needs a wall big enough so that it doesn't overpower you. Rupert has always been one for large pieces. The house we are in now is much smaller than the one we had before, so it'll have to wait until we move again to find it's way out into the living room.

But, zyxquilts, you have given me an idea.... hmmm wonder if it'd be possible to recreate it in quilt form.... I'm still a beginner, so I'll have to think on that. :?

Nice room.

I just got a quilting room of my own. I can hardly stay out of there! Congrats on getting one for you--I know you'll have a blast in there!

Well done for getting your very own sewing room, I bet great things are going to come out of the little room :D

Lori, you are such a lucky girl. Your sewing room looks fab. I want one :( . Like you I'm in a corner in my living room.

Nice room and I love the multi colored quilt!!

I could tell right away you must be a submariners wife :) what could ahve ipped that off lol. Im so glad you finally got your own space:) Im still going through finding my own nook in the house that I know I'll get just right before we have tto move again. such is the life!

Congrats on 27 years!

Everything is so nice--esp the dorm quilt. :wink: What's the pattern?

Thanks all! Just started another quilt for my mother and going to shop this weekend for material for one for my father. oh boy!! You're right, I hate going to work 'cause that means I can't be in my little room all day! But, gotta do that so I can buy more fabric, right? LOL Well, three day weekend coming up..... guess you know where you'll find me.

It's out of a book of log cabin quilts. Have to tell you it was a pain in the neck.... too many matching centers and hoping that you've trimmed the square right. I'll look tonight and send you the exact name.

Congrats on getting your own room. I like how you have it set up. VERY NICE and cozy

Lori-Congrats on your very own room!! Aren't you just dying to try out your new quilting frame??? Is the dorm quilt going to be your first quilt on it?? Great space--enjoy many happy quilting hours there.

Yes, I can't wait to try it out. I have the quilting design picked out and am going this weekend to get fabric to make the leaders.... Now if I can just hear back from the repair shop as to how sick my machine is!... :cry:

Very nice. I bet you are thrilled to have so much room. Is that an extra sewing machine on the floor, or just the top to this one?

That's the top to my 27 yr old Kenmore that's currently sitting on the table. I have a Janome, but it's currently in the repair shop.

Nice room ...I can tell it will be put to work soon.....rather the Kenmore or the Janome....you'll have to start sewing soon or go into the jitters.....
